15 State Appropriations to New Jersey City University (in $s) $35, $3, $25, $2, $15, $1, $3,387 $31,423 $26,56 $26,56 $26,56 $5, $ Fiscal Year New Jersey State Budget Situation Consistent with the prior two fiscal years, total State of New Jersey appropriation to the University was held flat at $26.56 million. This base appropriation level is expected to remain unchanged for fiscal year 214 as well. The University s two primary revenue sources are appropriations from the State of New Jersey, and proceeds from tuition and fees. As costs continue to rise and appropriations remain flat, the university must continue efforts to implement creative measures to maintain tuition at affordable levels for our target population of students. Despite the fiscal challenges, the University took the necessary steps to develop a balanced budget for fiscal year 213, and the administration is committed to producing a balanced budget in fiscal year 214. Undertaking the task of balancing future budgets will require careful planning, defining clear goals, and ensuring that available funds are allocated to strategic initiatives. Additionally, cost saving measures such as suspending new hiring (except for critical personnel needed to fulfill the academic mission of the University), freezing and/or eliminating selected vacant positions, consolidating departments, eliminating duplicate services, monitoring and controlling class size and personnel salaries, and restructuring certain service contracts should be consistently examined to maximize use of funds. The University continues development of a new strategic plan that will guide our planning efforts in the coming years. This renewed plan will facilitate more targeted efforts to align resources with our most strategic, high-priority needs. The University continues its commitment to preserve the integrity of the academic programs as well as to remain among the most affordable State universities. In light of trends in 14

16 declining State support and rising costs, emphasis remains on allocating limited resources to missioncritical initiatives. Future Capital Needs and Borrowing The University is committed to the quality and progression of its academic and community programs. This commitment however, must be guided by prudent strategic planning and allocation of resources that provide the greatest benefit for stakeholders. In 29, the University completed a Facilities Condition Assessment to evaluate and prioritize its deferred maintenance requirements for all buildings and supporting infrastructure. Additionally, the University completed its Facilities Master Plan in January 211 to obtain a holistic view of current and future building and facilities needs. The Facilities Condition Assessment and Facilities Master Plan form the basis of assessing the cost, scope and timeline for which buildings and associated subsystems must be upgraded and/or repaired in order to provide wellmaintained facilities. In addition to deferred maintenance needs, the University plans to renovate existing academic facilities on our main campus and construct academic and residence facilities and the associated infrastructure on the lands acquired for the West Side Campus. In an effort to mitigate the risk of severe emergencies and system failures due to aging infrastructure and buildings, the University identified and prioritized approximately $3. million of critical capital improvements needed to address deferred building and infrastructure maintenance requirements. These capital improvements were derived from the 29 Facilities Condition Assessment. The University implemented a financing project which culminated in a $3. million bond sale in September 21 to fund these projects. The University is utilizing these funds, focusing on academic spaces first and anticipates completing the critical capital improvements by September 213. Capital additions totaling $9.6 million in fiscal year 212 consisted of major Capital Renewal Projects which began in fiscal year 211. These projects include renovations and improvements to campus buildings and related subsystems which are financed through the September 21 bond sale. During fiscal year 211, the University recognized an increase in capital assets, net of depreciation totaling $3.3 million. This increase was primarily attributed to renovations of the Science and Rossey Hall buildings, as well as preliminary design and engineering work in preparation for the West Campus remediation project. Net additions to capital assets totaling $4.7 million in fiscal year 21 include roof repairs for the Professional Studies building and Hepburn Hall, renovations to the Science Building, window replacement in Fries Hall, and preliminary work for the remediation of the West Campus site. In addition to these large projects that took place during the three fiscal years, the University also completed various smaller department renovations which contributed to the additions of net capital assets Student Financial Assistance The University s students are the direct recipients of various governmental financial assistance programs or grants based upon need or academic excellence. In the fiscal year ending June 3, 212, students received $29,319,342 in governmental grant financial assistance, $2,149,617 in University scholarships, and $1,96,145 in tuition and fee waivers. New Jersey City University Foundation, Inc. The Foundation s net assets increased $1. million in fiscal year 212 compared to $7, in fiscal year 211. The change in net assets is primarily attributed to increases in contributions and grants in the current year compared to the previous year. Expenses remained consistent for both fiscal years.
